Home TV Features Spider-Man: Freshman Year - Cast, Story Everything We Know Spider-Man will star in the upcoming animated series Spider-Man: Freshman Year, but what will the show's premise, cast, and continuity setting be? The upcoming Disney+ show Spider-Man: Freshman Year will be a fresh and stylish animated outing for the iconic web-slinger, Peter Parker. Taking inspiration from numerous Spider-Man adaptations, Freshman Year was initially believed to be part of the main MCU timeline, but 2022’s San Diego Comic-Con revealed that this isn’t quite the case. Freshman Year will be a unique take on one of Marvel’s most famous superheroes, with surprising connections to the MCU. Spider-Man is seen by many as Marvel’s flagship character, with decades of comic books capturing the imaginations of readers and inspiring numerous adaptations to film and television. The Marvel Cinematic Universe introduced its own version of Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland, in Captain America: Civil War , which only referenced the web-slinger’s iconic origin story in passing. For a time, it appeared that Freshman Year would finally explore this skipped portion of the MCU Spider-Man’s history. Marvel Studios’ animation panel at 2022’s San Diego Comic-Con revealed numerous exciting details about Spider-Man: Freshman Year, including its premise, cast, and release window. Although heavily inspired by the MCU, Freshman Year will explore the life of a new version of Peter Parker, though those familiar with Tom Holland’s iteration will see many parallels between the two web-slingers. The Latest Spider-Man: Freshman Year News The most noteworthy Spider-Man: Freshman Year news so far has been on who will (and will not) be stepping from the MCU and into the vocal booth to voice their live-action characters. What If...? featured many MCU actors reprising their roles for the animated forms of their characters. Sadly, Tom Holland will reportedly not be voicing the titular character in the upcoming animated series (via The Illuminerdi), but actor Charlie Cox will be voicing Daredevil, and Paul F. Thompkins will be playing the Marvel villain the Wizard. Other characters in the series have also been announced, but as previously stated, no voice actors have been attached. Spider-Man: Freshman Year Release Date Spider-Man: Freshman Year was officially confirmed during the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con. The newest Spider-Man cartoon will be written by executive producer Jeff Trammel, and is already in the early stages of production. However, Freshman Year is still quite a long way away from releasing, though Marvel Studious gave an encouraging announcement for the series from showrunner Jeff Trammell on Freshman Year production so far. While it has a vague year-long release window, Spider-Man: Freshman Year has been confirmed to run for at least one additional season after its first, and season 1 of Spider-Man: Freshman Year premieres sometime in 2024. Spider-Man: Freshman Year Cast Tom Holland is slated to appear in more Spider-Man movies, but will reportedly not be voicing Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Freshman Year. However, there are many other Spider-Man voice actors who could easily take his place. One possibility is Hudson Thames, who voices Spider-Man in Marvel’s What If…? The new animated Spider-Man show won't be the tale of Tom Holland's Spider-Man origin, despite having similarities, so it is understandable Holland may not be involved. Spider-Man: Freshman Year only has confirmed two other confirmed voice actors. Bentley Wittman, Marvel villain The Wizard, will be voiced by Paul F. Tompkins, in addition to Charlie Cox reprising his role as the MCU’s Daredevil. While other actors haven't been announced for Spider-Man: Freshman Year, numerous characters have...
